Once again on zero sleep, Rordon remains dazed, confused, and dazed again. Too much work, too little sleep. And yet Rordon admits that he only does English – surely he should have the freedom to write smash hit articles all the time (shameless plug for the Eurovision Top 10 xoxo). And yet… he doesn’t. But […]

Image Description: A white middle-aged man in a crowd of people. This week’s alumni is Alan Allen, an accountant from Worthing who continues to describe himself as being in his ‘mid-to-late thirties’ despite turning 40 later this year.
